Can anyone help me out? I bought the 760 engine from Tyler, user name jetskimaniaparts on Ebay. Paid full price with shipping and he has seemed to skip town. I cant send any messages nor file a claim. It looks like we got the shuffle of "I'm boxing it up, and it will be in the mail tomorrow" IF...

Wow 10 days. I've have parts out that are easy 4 weeks old. Tzane, PM me, we will have to grab a Green Beans Coffee here in the next few days brother.

here is a little paint on it to help clean it up. Ive tried my hand at sewing the seats and should have the finished product complete by Sat this week. Scott Bennett, Sep 22, 2016EditDeleteReport #49Reply ADDict, Kyle Chandler, Quinc and 2 others like this. Page 3 of 3 < Prev123

It is a great way to blow of steam your right. I love it, well all but the sanding. I've always disliked that. Lately its been a great weight loss program as well, as it is so darn hot and humid. The rear flip down bench is done and waiting for us to find some grey packing foam to pad it and...

Its been about 120-ish and 75% humidity so work is very slow. We have the floor in and the seat box in. The center is hollow to allow plenty of room for sound deadening of the motor and insulation for cup holders. The entire top flips forward to allow access to two storage areas and the motor.

Lots of trust in this old machinery. We can use rope to build a rig to hoist it into the small channel right nest to the crane.

Well, It's Sunday. All the plans fell through for getting the boat in the water today. Eid al-Adha starts tomorrow and through my ignorance I didnt know that fasting starts today. It is what it is. Next Sunday will be the water test. We taken every precaution when fiberglassing and...

Cool Rdrttoy, I got it and sent reply. Thanks I'm not sure what the fuel is out here. I can imagine its super 91+ as they get most of it from Dubai and Kuwait. I know my little Suzuki I'll pull the boat with runs great with the extreme heat. Maybe one day if we feel froggy we can get a higher...

There is a cool guy at Jetskimaniaparts on Ebay that I'm working with on a 760 that is pretty fresh. He has been working with us on figuring out how to ship it out here. Very willing to help us out. Few sellers I ran into willing to do any leg work for us. We dont normally ask for favors and it...

anyone have a 6R7 pump sitting around?

I agree. If it gets us there and back its good. However some of the guys agreed to pitch in and go for a fresh 760 and the mod of a 6R7 with 61X forcing cone to get the 144 pump. After it took 7 of us to flip it that was an easy proposal. The funny part is now that it looks better they are even...

We got the first coat of boat bottom paint. This thing is already looking better! I got two quarts of AquaGuard water based, 20% copper, high solids paint. It took 15 min of stirring just to get it to be able to apply. This stuff has the consistency of lumpy sheetrock mud. What should take no...

As I mentioned the wear ring housing being cracked, I see a past post for using the Kawi 650 pump. The issue will be getting everything milled and pressed. I have yet to learn about a machine shop here. Example, I bought a 1996 Suzuki escudo (sidekick). It was cheaper to order new wheels and...

I do have one major issue. The scraper portion of the bump is cracked but not in the inside it looks like just the housing. How long will this last just for testing? I dont want to mess anything up but need to get it tested to asses what happens next. I'll look for one tonight but it will be 3-5...

I do love building projects but the crazy heat with high humidity take a bit of the fun out of it. That being said, If I can get the boat done and tested in the next month and a half we might be able to make the group of boats that go out and dive with the whale sharks. This weekend we got a...

I have been checking out the Bennett's SLT10. I see them all over for $140ish. That wouldn't get too far out of the budget. Does anyone have any experience with these. Electrics and hydros are out of the question because of cost and support system that will be lacking in our boat. I understand...

Thanks for the info OutRAGEous. I don't know much about boats. This is why I started this thread. I'll look into the trim tabs. I was looking at glassing in some flaps from the side of the FX1 to the back of the boat to give it some surface area just so it wouldn't dig too deep and stay there...

I've been at a stand still waiting for the 3M 5200 to arrive in the mail. Everything takes 3-5 weeks to arrive. I now have the FX1 hull all positioned correctly and shimmed. I have cut a frame out of 2x4 to "lock" it into the transom. Once the 5200 arrives I will remove everything and bond it...

Not a PWC I know. This was my last deployed project that kept me entertained.
